Chapter 39: Edric Robertson’s Plan

Shiba looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with its round eyes.

It jumped around excitedly at the nice spacious room.

When it saw Lukas sitting on the bed, it jumped onto the bed.

With its tail wagging, Shiba snuggled happily in the soft bed and blanket.

"You like it here too, buddy?" Lukas patted its head and asked.

Shiba nodded furiously.

"We might have to spend some time here. But..." Lukas got closer to Shiba and said, "I might not be able to smuggle too much food for you."

Shiba frowned for a moment and nodded.

After the fight with the Skeleton Team and Pak Yun, Lukas realized that Shiba might cause a ruckus if it was seen.

He needs to investigate more about Shiba’s background.

And for the moment, Shiba had to be kept a secret.

After a tired day, Lukas and Shiba got to bed early and rested for the day.

...

Meanwhile, Rodney made a call to Pak Min Jae and was waiting for Pak Min Jae to pick up as the phone rang.

Tap.

He tapped his fingers on the desk impatiently.

Finally, the phone was picked up.

"Pak Min Jae, what do you think you are doing? Asking your man to be roaming on the streets with all their gear?" Rodney said.

"I lost my son and grandson, and my men are just out searching for the person responsible." Pak Min Jae replied with impatience.

"Let me remind you that I have the authority to apprehend you if you harm an awakened, taking the law into your own hands.

"I don’t care what you and the ex-director’s relationship was.

"That corrupted piece of shit is gone.

"I’m the one calling the cards now."

Rodney gave his warnings to Pak Min Jae.

The laws were strict within the city to prevent the awakened from killing each other.

And Rodney could activate the security forces and soldiers when needed.

Pak Yun escaped due to the Pak family’s close relationship with the previous Director.

But Pak Min Jae had underestimated Rodney’s resolve in keeping things running clean.

There was silence on the other end of the call as Rodney waited for a reply.

Pak Min Jae clenched his fist and stared blankly at the picture of his family on his desk.

Even though he didn’t feel much for Pak Yun, and Pak Soon Hyun, they were still members of his family.

Blood and flesh as a Pak.

Pak Min Jae took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I shall call back my men."

"Good. Next time don’t even think about it." Rodney said and put down his phone.

He glanced up at his secretary and said, "Check on the Pak family’s men. See if they are indeed being recalled."

The secretary nodded and got to work.

...

After putting down his phone, Pak Min Jae looked up and instructed, "Recall the men."

"But what about..." One of the family members wanted to say something but stopped when the cold stare of Pak Min Jae fell upon him.

"We will have to do it covertly." Pak Min Jae said as he knew he wasn’t able to go against the numerous security forces and soldiers alone.

His phone rang again before he could continue.

Pak Min Jae picked up his phone and glanced at it.

It was Edric Robertson.

Did the interview work? Pak Min Jae pondered before he accepted the call.

He had tried to remind Edric Robertson why Pak Yun and Pak Soon Hyun were missing.

And that was all because of Edric Robertson’s precious son.

Either Edric Robertson was about to offer him something, or Edric Robertson was going to be pissed off by what he did in the interview.

Pak Min Jae had made a gamble, and he hoped it was the right one.

"Pak, my old friend. My condolences for what had happened." Edric Robertson said.

Pak Min Jae leaned forward with what Edric Robertson had said.

"I’m guessing Rodney that old fool had called you to stop." Edric Robertson continued.

"I guess we all have people in the Awakened Center." Pak Min Jae said.

"However, I’m going to propose something to you, for what Pak Yun and Pak Soon Hyun had done.

"Don’t listen to Rodney.

"I need you to mess up the place.

"Create a show everyone will not forget."

Edric Robertson said to Pak Min Jae’s astonishment.

What was he proposing?

All the Pak family members would be dead very soon if he listened to Edric Robertson.

Edric Robertson continued and said, "I know what you are thinking right now.

"I assure you that you would be rewarded handsomely if you do so.

"Here is what will happen next..."

Pak Min Jae’s expression changed, and his eyes opened wider and wider as he listened to what Edric Robertson had planned.

He felt cold sweat on his back.

For someone his age, he thought he would never be surprised or shocked by anything anymore, but what Edric Robertson had in store blew his mind.

He had to put one of his hands on his desk to steady himself and calm down.

There was silence for a few moments as Pak Min Jae pondered Edric Robertson’s offer.

And now that Edric Robertson had let him know of the plan, Pak Min Jae knew he couldn’t really back out.

There was no way Edric Robertson would let him live now that he knew.

Pak Min Jae thought that he could pull in Edric Robertson with his interview, but in the end, he was the one being played like a toy by Edric Robertson.

Finally, Pak Min Jae took a deep breath and after a sigh, he said, "Yes, I will make sure we create a show Rodney won’t forget."

...

Edric Robertson put down his phone and took a sip from his wine glass.

Things were going his way.

He took out his phone and opened the messages app.

He entered into the input box: [Plant the devices tomorrow.]

After a brief moment, a reply came back.

[We shall do as instructed.]

Edric Robertson then tapped on the contact ’Shadow Lotus’.

[The device will be planted.]

’Shadow Lotus’ replied immediately.

[We shall take care of the governor and The Southern Pillar.]
